Each week, we're checking in with the date-night idea genies over at HowAboutWe to bring you the most fun and unique date ideas from around the country.

Whether this is your first year hosting Thanksgiving or you've done it so many times the turkey practically cooks itself, there are always ways to make the festive meal even yummier. This week's date is inspired by Home Cooking New York's Thanksgiving prep class, where a chef-instructor walks participants through preparing a fresh, farm-to-table meal from grocery list to serving dish. Bon appétit!
